My Final Thoughts on the Presidential Race of 2008

First-God is still in control. We prayed for God to have His way, and He did. God has a greater plan than we can see and His will was done, even if we did not vote for the winner of the election.
Secondly, Congratulations to President Elect Obama. He earned this election, and he deserved to win.
Third, Christians in this country need to PRAY for our new President. We MUST ask God to Give President Elect Obama wisdom as he leads this country of ours-This is a BIBLICAL COMMAND-I Timothy 2:1-3
Fourth, as we pray, We need to ask God to change President Elect Obama's heart on the issue of abortion. The Bible says that that the heart of the king is in the hand of God (Proverbs 21:1) -God can change his heart and I pray that He does. We also need ask God to change the hearts of the people in this country and cause us as a nation to repent for this grievous sin.
Fifth, We as Christians, MUST-MUST lay aside our petty partisan differences and serve Jesus-WAY to many of us have demonized OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST because of the way they may have voted. THIS MUST STOP. WE MUST_MUST_MUST LOVE, regardless of political affiliation. Jesus is neither Democrat or Republican-He is GOD and HE DEMANDS THAT WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER-go back and reread First John if you need a reminder. When we allow ourselves to be divided by politics, we are being disobedient to the Command of God. This is not to say that we all must agree on every issue-Godly people can and will have disagreements on political issues, but we MUST STOP allowing these disagreements to to destroy our relationships in the Body of Christ.
Sixth, President Elect Obama is NOT the Anti-Christ, and Neither is he the Second Coming of Jesus. He is simply a man who needs our prayers and deserves our respect as the man who will hold the highest elected office in this country
Seventh, Some have said that Obama's election to the Presidency is proof that the America has rejected God. This is completely ridiculous-In many ways, America rejected God a long time ago, and had McCain been elected, we would still need to repent for the sins of the nation.
Thanks for letting me get this off my chest,
God Bless you all!
